As I said, Teller's designs are still as impractical as they were during the war. A hydrogen bomb can be made to work, Oppie, you know that. I don't believe we should commit all our resources to that chance. Then how would you have Truman reassure the American people? Simply by limiting the spread of atomic weapons through international control on nuclear energy. By which you mean world government? The United Nations as Roosevelt intended. Well, I... I asked what Truman should do, right? The world's changed, it's not fascism but Communism that now threatens our survival. Lewis, do you understand, if we build a hydrogen bomb, the Russians will have no choice but to build their own? Could they be working on one already? Based on information gathered from a spy at Los Alamos. No spy at Los Alamos. - Gentlemen. - There wasn't? Let's not get sidetracked. I say we use this moment to gain concessions from the Russians by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb. Thereby revealing its existence. Which you seem convinced they already know. (clears throat) All right. At this point, I'd like the committee members to meet in privacy to finalize our recommendations.

ROBERT: Progress? Two years and a billion dollars' worth? Well, hard to put a price on it. Not really, just add up the bills. "Rural free deliveries." Eighty babies delivered the first year. This year, we've had ten a month. Birth control is a little out of my jurisdiction, General.

What is it you said? "This is just how the game is played." Well, forgive my naivete. Amateurs seek the sun. Get eaten. Power stays in the shadows. But, sir, you're... you're out of the shadows now. Yeah, that's why this has to work. Well... Teller's testifying this morning. That'll help. And then... Hill is in the afternoon. Hill is gonna help us too.

What about the Super? Does Truman even know about it? Did we brief him on that? Not specifically. ROBERT: We still don't know if a hydrogen bomb's technically feasible. Right, my understanding is that Teller proposed it? - ROBERT: Yes. - At Los Alamos? Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical. You'd have to deliver by ox cart. - Not airplane. - LAWRENCE: Oppie. I'm sorry, Dr. Lawrence, you want to comment?

But never embraced the quantum world it revealed. "God doesn't play dice." Precisely. You never thought of studying physics formally, Mr. Strauss? Well, I had offers, but I chose to sell shoes. Lewis Strauss was once a lowly shoe salesman.
